i first found allegra goodman reading kaaterskill falls in 1999. none of her books since disappoint.
isola is no exception. it is beautifully written and narrated. a sweeping historical fiction account of a brave young woman in the mid 1500's as she navigates a pre-women's lib world. there is a stark beauty to this work, not only in the character herself but in her time spent on the oceans and on a small granite island off of the st lawrence river and canada. read this book. it is lovely and inspiring.
